Back On Track

Everything went right for the Rainiers on Saturday night: Jesus Montero, Stefen Romero, and John Hicks each hit home runs to give Mike Montgomery an early lead, and the lefty pitched eight innings to get the win in an 8-3 victory at Fresno.

Tacoma ended a little three-game losing streak, and it evened-up the series 1-1. Now we have day games today and Monday to finish up the road trip.

The Rainiers are 3-3 so far on this eight-game road trip, so the chance for a .500-or-better trip is still there.

RAINIERS ROUND-UP

Yesterday:The Rainiers hit three homers and Mike Montgomery tossed another gem as Tacoma ended a three-game losing streak with an 8-3 victory in Fresno.

Cochrane-Gill is up from Class-A Bakersfield to make his Triple-A debut, filling in for Jordan Pries who is skipping a turn in the rotation for precautionary reasons. This is also Cochrane-Gill’s first professional start. He was 2-1, 1.37 in ten relief appearances for Bakersfield. He’s pitched 3.0 or 3.1 innings three different times, so the Rainiers are hoping he can get through at least three innings.

Hot Rainiers: Once again, both Ketel Marte (15 games) and James Jones (14 games) extended their hitting streaks last night. Marte’s is a new career high, while Jones tied his career best. Marte leads the PCL with 44 hits.

Look Out For: Fresno’s Alex Presley had two more hits last night and is 6-for-8 in this series.

Couldn’t find a report on Colorado Springs’ 3-1 win at Iowa, but apparently former major league reliever Josh Roenicke pitched well in a starting assignment.
